Hi dolfke,
🙂 Just to avoid some confusion. 😉 "ARM" (and all its versions) is a standard defining instruction set, nothing more! How the instruction set will be implemented from every one hardware provider is decision of the corresponding hardware provider. ARM main aim is ensure binary execution code compatibility (software point of view) between machines coming from different providers. Are all chips, used as interfaces for WiFi, USB, or other, using mandatory same implementation (WiFi, USB, and others are standards)? Not actually; they are functionally compatible, as the standards state! In this context, what is the meaning of your statement I have cited above (and not only)?! One implementation, whatever is, either match the ARM or not! There is NOT something like "not really". Can you figure out a situation where some particular product (whatever is - not necessary technical) can match applicable standard "not really"? What is the impression such a product (some food, for example) would let you with? As far as I know all new Apple machines are using CPUs matching ARM. If you can, please clarify what you mean "not really"; 🧐 what is it really? 🤔 ... Rhetorical question of course... 👍
An M1 is a (Apple engineered, ARM like) Soc, that includes much more than only the cpu.
maybe I expressed myself too briefly.

...🙂😃 Yes, of course, and it's not the only. In fact most modern compact devices are almost same, in this context - SoC (System on Chip)! Is this make them less ARM?! 🤔 Again, rhetorical question. 😉 Almost all ARM devices are SoC!

Hi all,
We've had an update from the team that this release is compatible with Apple Silicon devices and MacOS Big Sur.
Hope that helps!
I already told you this a few days ago.
its really amazing to experience everything is working again how it should with Big Sur on Apple silicon !!
This is working but causing serious battery drainage. This needs to be fixed immediately. If im doing to disable dropbox im going to cancel service.
You need stable build 110.4.458.
Dropbox seemingly determined to not tell people basic facts...
This is still an Intel only binary - it works on M1 & Big Sur but still using Rosetta 2. All 8 processes of it.
I noticed similar high CPU/energy use after first installing, but after its initial sync, Dropbox is now using very little CPU and energy (0.2 energy impact and 0.7% CPU currently).
